+1

Some of the slower buildfarm critters use MAX_CONNECTIONS to limit
the load on their hosts. As long as the isolation tests honor that,
I don't see a real need for a separate serial schedule.
(We've talked about retiring the serial sched for the main regression
tests, and while that trigger's not been pulled yet, I think it's
just a matter of time. So making the isolation tests follow that
precedent seems wrong anyway.)
